365 DAYS

Chapter 1

Pagka gising ko, a familiar scenery caught my attention.

White ceiling, and sound of machines. Yeah right, I'm in the hospital again.

"Baby are you okay?" it was my Mom looking at me with such a worried face.

"I'm okay Mom :)" I smiled to give her assurance.

"Thanks God that my baby is safe" she leaned closer and give me a kiss on my forehead.

"Where's Dad?" I asked her

"He's with the doctor who checked you up. They're going to discuss your condition. And I think they are finished by now." After naman sabihin ni Mommy yun. Bumukas naman ang pinto sa room ko at nakita kong papasok si Dad habang bagsak ang balikat.

"Oh hon. Anong sabi ng doctor?" Salubong na tanong ni Mommy.

"Let's talk outside." Seryosong tugon ni Daddy. Tumingin sa akin si Mommy at tumango na lang ako.

At lumabas na sila ni Daddy.

"Ano kaya ang pag-uusapan nila?"  tanong ko sa aking sarili.

"Hay! Hintayin ko na nga lang na sila na mismo ang magsabi sa akin."

Ako nga pala si Nicole Jade Alvarez. 17 years old. A first year college student of ABCEDF University. My mother is Colleen Jade Alvarez while my father is James Alvarez.

-----------------

Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas at bumalik na rin sila sa loob. Nakita ko naman si Mommy na medyo swollen pa ang mga mata niya. At alam kung galing lang ito sa pag iyak.

"Mom, Dad please tell me what is going on. What did the doctor tell you? Is it about my health?" Nagkatinginan sila pareho. Tumango nalang si Mommy.

"Baby? The Doctor told me that your illness is getting worse. And he told me that wala na siyang magagawa to cure you, pero may ibibigay siyang mga gamot that will help to prolong your life." I saw a tear escape from his eyes. And I saw Mom crying.

Although I already expected this to happen, I feel sad about it.

"What do you mean prolong my life?"

"The Doctor told me that you only have 1 year left." That made me stop. Nakita kong pinapatahan ni Dad si Mom.

"Mom, please stop crying. I don't want to see you like these. Ayokong may umiiyak ng dahil sa akin. I already expected these to happen and we can't do anything about that." I tried myself not to cry which I succeeded.

"Lets make my remaining days memorable, shall we?" I smiled at them ad they smiled back.

So, I still have 365 days left to be with them. Sana naman maging memorable yun.
